This place has become one of our go-to spots. The people are awesome good attitudes, kind service, and the kind of place that feels welcoming the second you walk in. You can tell the folks behind the cooking actually care about what they're putting out. And the food? Solid. Their okra alone keeps us coming back, and honestly it's the closest thing we've found around here to real Texas-style BBQ. Smoky, hearty, comforting food without trying too hard to be trendy. Good people. Good BBQ. The kind of place you end up craving again a few days later. read more

Dude, these people should really be embarrassed. I spent like $25 for the carnivore plate and received a pathetic portion of food. Two small strips of brisket, a tiny portion of pulled pork, and maybe 8 little slices of sausage. The food was tasty, but the portions were TINY. Do not support this place. I have learned my lesson and will support the local food trucks for barbecue from now on. read more

Horrible experience! Very rude customer service from a young gal, she was rude to start and then when we recieved our food, it's cold and I paid $13 for 1/4 sausage that couldn't even feed my 2yr old. We love Dickeys and have nothing but great experience at new PF location but employees at this one are very subpar! read more

Good food. Portions will fill you up. Nice bonus is the soft serve ice cream machine. BBQ beef sandwich smokey, tender flavorful. Extra sauce varieties to choose but not necessary. Dining area clean. Decorated appropriately. Owners hard working in a difficult industry. read more

Ever since the new owners took over this is # 1 on my list for food outside the house! The staff is friendly, the restaurant is always clean, and the food is great, and they always have everything on the menu. I recommend the baker with brisket! yummy! As I travel and have eaten at a lot of different Dickie's , food quality & availability had really gone down hill corporate wide the past 5 years. . This should be the standard! They are the best franchise Dickie's I have ever eaten. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Coeur D' Alene, Idaho

Staff was very nice. Ambiance nice... We ordered brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken, sausage, half rack ribs, mac n cheese n fries... food was ready in 3 minutes.... The meat tasted ok, sadly everything was cold, not warm.... Cold ... except for Mac n cheese.... yet due to all the meats being cold - was a huge disappointment... and not edible we took it home to heat it up. Honestly it's obvious the food is all precooked.. how hard is it to heat up? The Mac n cheese straight out of microwave?... was hot! read more

Let's face it: You either live or don't live Dickeys. I happen to love it. But when was the last time you heard staff greet you with a warm smile and a "thanks for being here with us today?" Food was great, and the staff could not have been nicer. read more

The food is good, but the staff really messed up our order at the window last time. Its happened before. We will not be coming back to this location. read more

The customer service was very great. They asked us questions on what we want as far as toppings and they were quick and efficient. They treated us kindly and it was just a great experience overall. read more

My son and I went through the drive-through and ordered a brisket sandwich which, of course I requested moist to make sure that I had the juicy brisket and also his brisket for the kids meal. The brisket was like it is in Texas out of this world. Good. I was totally impressed. I was even more impressed with how quickly they were able to get us the food. I'm not sure what some of these other reviews experienced and maybe it was off day, but the meat was very moist and juicy and absolutely excellent. The friendly service was first class, and we will definitely be returning. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - This was a picture of the brisket sandwich with the pickles and jalapeños added onto it. - Barbeque Near Me - Coeur D' Alene, Idaho

Walked in at 8pm on 4/30/25 and the lady behind the counter looked me up and down with disgust. Instead of saying "hello" or any halfway polite greeting the lady just starts spitting off all the things they are out of then just walks off. I can hear them talking about throwing out perfectly good food so they can start cleaning a hour before they close! No wonder y'all are out of everything you're throwing it all away! Finally another lady took my order and although she was saying polite things you could tell she had a lil attitude. I won't be returning I'll spend my money somewhere else from now on. Which is what the employees wanted judging by the way they treated me. read more

Haven't been here in YEARS, but decided to give them another try because I'm absolutely a sucker for constant emailed coupons...lol. The place is so different now! The decor is updated and modern, it's super clean inside, you're greeted when you enter, and the food tastes like someone cared. Yay! No one will ever replace my beloved Juniors BBQ (RIP), but this was just fine. Honestly, you may want to give them a try now! read more

Service at this place - in person it's okay. I say okay because the people are nice, but the order comes out wrong Every. Single. Time. I've been to this Dickey's a handful of times because the bbq is good and the sweet bbq sauce is a great pair. I've ordered the pulled pork sandwich and asked for pickles and a Cole slaw topper both in person and thru Uber Eats. Regardless how I ordered they forgot both. Only once did I get exactly what I ordered. Tonight though, I ordered and literally got two plain pulled pork sandwiches -- no pickles, no slaw, and not a single container of sauce. Two stars because the food -- when it comes out right -- is tasty, but that's the only reason... Try at your own risk. read more

The first thing I noticed coming in was how clean the restaurant was. My friends and I came and received good customer. Food was cooked just right, will be coming again soon. read more

It's 5:50 and our family arrived to enjoy a meal at Dickey's The menu board here shows every sandwich combination to include drinks and fries. Under the menu board they have a hand written sign that says "NO fried food at This location. No chicken nuggets, fries and wings." If that wasn't disappointing enough when we went to get our drinks from the fountain machine we discovered it was out of Diet Coke. When we brought it to the attention of the cashier she just said oh well it's out. Then while waiting at the table for our food, the cashier then came out to inform us the bake Beans we had ordered as our side were out as well. Is it to much to expect this establishment to deliver a quality product to its customers. The food was over cooked and the Worst 107.00 I've ever spent. Won't be back. read more

They are serving chuck roast instead of brisket, and sadly they over cooked the roast... I asked if they knew the difference and the young man said no that's not roast it is brisket according to the owner... Definitely a questionable establishmen... read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Pulled pork, polish sausage, and brisket 3 meat tray with mac and cheese and baked potato casserole... - Barbeque Near Me - Coeur D' Alene, Idaho

Fast service and great customer service. Really good food we always go when we go to Cda.

Horribly disappointing consistently. Staff are not trained and deny that menu items exist, one even told me I couldn't order something in the store, I had to order it online and then come pick it up at the store because they couldn't figure out how to punch in the order... Orders are typically missing sides or have the wrong sides, also tiny portions of BBQ sauce are included or sometimes not at all. The food doesn't taste fresh and something about it seems off. They once gave me a lukewarm iced tea with no ice. Could not believe it. Just avoid this place. I don't want to lose the only Dickeys around but it needs to close. It's a disaster. read more

Excellent service. Tasty meat! We came to Dickey's for dinner and we're not disappointed.

Worst BBQ I've ever had. I was in Texas last month, and I'm not sure this should even be called BBQ. Brisket was dry and tough, pulled pork was dry. The jalapeño cheddar sausage had good flavor, but it was cold. We went through the drive thru, and had a 5 minute drive home, and almost everything was lukewarm to the point I'm concerned about getting food poisoning tonight. The only thing in our meals that was legitimately hot was the loaded baked potato casserole, and it wasn't good. The mac and cheese was cold and bland. They also have a bunch of items on their menu that aren't even available at this location. There is zero chance I ever eat here again. read more

Best BBQ I've ever had! Hands down. I tried the Turkey, briquette and pulled pork. Every single item exceeded my expectations. Flavor town! read more

I've been eating at Dickie since I ate at the first one in Dallas Texas many years ago. The ones in Texas are better, but these franchised stores are awesome, too. This particular store is clean, but rarely has a lot of people in it. I'm not sure why that is, because the food is really good. My wife and I are eating mostly carnivore, so Dickies makes it an easy decision. I strongly recommend this restaurant, and I hope other people will figure it out. read more

Had a family luncheon gathering and was so disappointed in this food! Ordered the 3 meat combo pack to go. There was no bbq sauce and the chicken was dry and hard. No one was eating due to the condition of the meat and I didn't have any other food to offer my family. Dickies should be ashamed!! read more

I went there today for lunch, and was disappointed. First impression was that this place is in desperate need of love. I didn't go inside, but the outside has dead grass, desperately in need of some new paint, menu board just has a few pieces of paper glued to the plexiglass. No pictures, or anything to say order delicious food here! Side, orders, consisted of beans, or spicy beans. No mac & cheese, coleslaw, fries of any kind. Just beans. I was feeling a little weary, and resisted the urge to drive onto the next place. I ordered a brisket sandwich with, you guessed it, beans. The sandwich was unremarkable and dry although the flavor wasn't bad. I'm not sure what they gave me to drink, but it was not the Dr Pepper that I ordered. Spicy beans, were pretty spicy. But overall, not very appetizing. At the end of the day, I probably won't be making a return trip. I've been to many dickeys restaurants over the years, and this one feels like it is desperately in need of new management, Ownership, or both. Not sure how they're doing financially, but it feels like this place is on its last legs. If only the place down the road had been open, or the guy at the food truck Mall had been paying attention at his window. Is it really that hard to find good BBQ in town? So sad. read more

We were recently house hunting in Coeur d' Alene, stopped for lunch and had the best surprise, really good BBQ. Honestly, I wasn't expecting food this good as it is a chain and we have a favorite award winning BBQ restaurant back in Nevada that just lost being our go to. The staff was friendly, engaging, answered all our questions, gave us a sample of sausage and overall just did it right. Oh my word, so many sauce choices! The ambiance was typical "fast food" seating but comfortable and spotless. Now that we will be living close by, we will frequent here often. read more

I had the brisket mac stack and it was so good and the brisket was tender. I do think the lemonaid was differnt . Bring back the old stuff. And the loaded baker with chicken and spinach is good tooo read more

I read these reviews and haven't had the same experience that some mention of small portions ands items being out. In fact our portions have been good And the food is tasty and reasonably priced. We ordered through door dash and the food arrived hot. We had a tiny snafu on the order and I called just to let them know so that they could be sure to not to let it happen to someone else but the guy that answered the phone said he wanted to make it right and drove us out a pound of brisket within 15 minutes to make sure we were happy. Customer service is still alive and we truly appreciate it! read more

Went to the CDA restaurant today, what a disappointment. $30 for 2 , 2 meat plates. Got 2 pieces of brisket, each about 3 inches long. If I put the meat in a vice, and squeezed it, not even a drop of moisture would have came out of the brisket between both our plates. I've been smoking briskets for almost 40 years and I don't care what you say, that brisket was not smoked. When you smoke brisket, you get a nice pink smoke ring all around the edges of the brisket. No smoke flavor, no pink smoke ring at all, just deep dark brown dried brisket. We both also had jalapeño beans and Mac and cheese. Didn't taste anything spicy about the beans and Mac and cheese were cafeteria quality. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for real BBQ, you're not gonna find any here read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Here is what smoked brisket should like, mine, from one of my catering jobs. - Barbeque Near Me - Coeur D' Alene, Idaho

Come get your meat eat on! This place is great. Brisket and pulled pork are very tender and moist. Green bean with bacon, yes please. BBQ beans, I'll have them too. Oh the sauce! Great tasting sauce to go along with your meat as well. Dicky's is a great add to CDA. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Double meat plate. - Barbeque Near Me - Coeur D' Alene, Idaho

I will never use or recommend Dickys for catering again. When booking the catering the manager was great, she called me after my online Inquiry and I told her we needed to change a few things on it. Like the food choices, amount of people, time and address. I called back once recieving the receipt and double checked she had the correct info as the receipt showed everything we entered online vs what was actually needed. She assured me it was. Come the day of delivery I called to confirm and the time was wrong by an hour and a half. The employee on the phone was extremely rude but said they would fix it. I then called back just to make sure the address was correct and when she went to check with the driver that she had the correct info the driver then yelled out "are you fu**ing kidding me it's not even the fu**ing address they put in on here" I then said to the employee "I just hear everything your driver said" and she replied "sorry she just wasn't supposed to be the one delivering this. Sorry about that". When she arrived she was very rude and asked for help grabbing the food because "it's just me" she said. We don't mind helping but when we booked to have our company Christmas dinner catered the manager assured me they come and set it up. Not to mention the rolls were so cold we all thought they were frozen and hadn't been cooked. Nightmare of an experience. Incredibly rude and vulgar employees and we will not support or give our business to a place like that. read more

Went there today for the first time. I don't know why they have few stars. The brisket was perfect, moist and smokey. The sides were awesome and tasty. I got potato salad and mac and cheese. The staff was very friendly too. I'll be back for sure every time I'm craving bbq. read more

This place should be named COVID-19 for sale. No masks by any patrons or staff. No hair nets or latex or nitrile gloves by food preparation staff. 45 minute wait for our food. "I guess we forgot your order". We examined the take out order and it was missing three of the sides and had one side we did not order. Now onto the food. Lukewarm at best. No bbq sauce included. The bbq chicken was probably the worst chicken I have ever had. Extremely salty and all dried out. The pork ribs and brisket were ok... nothing special. If I could give it a negative star I would. I would never ever go back. read more

This is the 2nd time we've tried Dickey's. Brisket is so salty we couldn't eat it. $40 down the drain. NEVER AGAIN

I got a loaded baked potato with turkey and they put chicken instead. my "turkey" was visibly pink and slimy. my boyfriend got the brisket and it was just plain and flavorless. so i reverted to the side salad i got. i never knew lettuce could be dry. and that was the pieces that were edible. the other bits and pieces of lettuce were sad brown and slimy. the croutons were soggy and wet. the only good thing in this order was the bread that was more moist than the lettuce. not to mention this was a $50 order. all in all, i would not recommend. read more

It's so frustrating going to the CDA location and having them out of something 90% of the time. Being out of menu items occasionally is understandable, but the last 8 times we've been in, they've been out of at least one of the items we've requested. Thumbs down read more

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Been wanting to try Dickey's for a while. Last night I went through the drive thru and finally "got to" try it. Short story, it wasn't good. The Good: The sides (Mac n Cheese, Creamed Spinach) were pretty good. The cashier was friendly. The Bad: The drive thru menu isn't updated. So the menu inside and outside don't match. I learned this because I was hoping to get a combo meal (like two meats and sides) and it wasn't on the outside menu. When I asked the cashier he let me know that it confuses most people because the menus are different. I watched my creamed spinach be spooned out of a plastic bag. Not very appetizing. There wasn't enough left for a full portion, so after much scraping the guy dishing up my food decided 80% full was good enough and gave up. The meat, I asked for pulled pork and brisket. I asked for the brisket to be chopped because I wasn't going to eat at a table so I knew cutting it would be tough. What I ended up with was a pile of mixed brisket and pulled pork. Most of it was really dry. Not good flavor. I wasn't given any sauce or offered any sauce. There was also a large chunk of bone in it. I was also given a stale/hard roll, it was not good. The price, ended up being $13.75 with no drink. The price was unbelievable for the quantity/quality. It's a terrible value and the poor quality just made it a worse experience. The Ugly: the meat was pulled out of a warmer completely mummified in plastic wrap. After my modest servings were removed, I watched them wrap it back up in 12 feet of plastic wrap. No part of this seems like real BBQ. It's not my desire for any business to fail. I wanted to love Dickey's but it ended up being a huge let down. When the only thing I would go back for is the Mac n Cheese, there's problems on the horizon I think. read more

No fries... No ICE CREAM?!?!?!? Those are among the top reasons we come to dickies. We were excited to see a dickies on our vacation, disappointed that we couldn't get ice cream. Meat was good. We were happy with our meal... Good bbq place but it was not a dickies experience. read more

The workers are not very friendly and seem to care more about socializing than their job. there was a young man there who was very helpful, i didn't get to catch his name but he was rather tall and has blonde hair. very friendly and helpful young man. the other two workers were not very friendly. decent food and horrible service. definitely not coming back. read more

I am apart of the Big Yellow Cup club and get regular promo emails. Today was a $3 pulled pork sandwich. Went in to use it and employees had no clue about the special. They also claimed they could not ring it in. They acted like i was from another planet. I even showed them the email but would not honor the special. Dickey's lost my business today. I will be unsubscribing from their email list and not coming back to this location. Also FYI... turns out this location dose not have their ice cream! Management at this location needs to get their act together. read more
